The Monster In My Head
"The Monster in my Head"
Do you know what it's like
to hear voices at night?
The kind that keep you awake.
You may fall asleep,
yet it's anything but peaceful
as the screams penetrate into dreams.
The thoughts and fears you keep inside
come alive and refuse to leave,
as they voice what you've tried so hard to hide.
Pills will not help; alcohol only delays
There is no escape from the voice;
Listening is no longer a choice.
I just want rest, a moment of peace.
Silence the voices.
Save me, please.
